I think sampan is just the tourist-oriented word for those boats. They for sure don't look like the pictures of sampan on wikipedia and for sure have more than three pieces of wood!
Hello readers! I would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone and everyone interested in reading my blog. I've made this blog for one specific reason--my studying abroad in Hong Kong at the University of Hong Kong during Fall semester 2009. If you would like to share my experience with me, be sure to subscribe to this blog. I'll try my hardest to update at least once a week.
Undergraduate at the University of California, San Diego, studying abroad at the University of Hong Kong during Fall semester 2009. Studying for a B.A. International Studies-Political Science and B.A. in Linguistics (Specialization in Language and Society) with a minor in the Study of Religion
The sampans (or are they just boats) in your photo do not look like the sampans from the old days. Are these modern sampans?

ReplyDeleteDoes Hong Kong still have the boats called "junks" (I think)?
